Authorities identified the 20-year-old man Tuesday who was killed Monday in a crash on eastbound Interstate 70.

Logan Allen Keller died when his motorcycle hit a construction-zone marker, a barrel, then another barrel, at which point he was ejected from the motorcycle and wound up under the rear wheels of a tractor-trailer, according to a news release from the Adams and Broomfield counties coroner.

Traffic investigators said Keller, and his brother-in-law, who was also on a motorcycle, were on I-70 between Airport and Tower roads when the bikes sped up to pass a truck in a construction zone that narrowed from two lanes to one.
